Arpeggio Studies

Columbia Music Company's Arpeggio Studies, by Dionisio Aguado with editing and fingering by Sophocles Papas, are important exercises for any aspiring guitarist. Essentially broken chords, these studies teach your fingers to move along the fretboard with greater agility. Arpeggios are used not just in classical music but in jazz and other genres as well and afford a more delicate type of accompaniment than a strummed chord. These Arpeggio Studies cover 11 formulas - or fingering patterns.
